Changes to Class Definitions Not Appearing

After I create a class, any changes to that class definition are not reflected in the object editor. For instance..

I created a class for "Team Member." I then created an object based on this class. Everything was fine.

Then I decided I wanted to include the team member's mobile phone number, so I went back into the "Team Member" class editor and added a new property: "Mobile Phone."

However, when I go to edit the existing object, that property doesn't appear in the editor. Weird thing is, if I go back to edit the class, the property IS in that editor. If I got to create a new object based on that class, no Mobile Phone field.

Do you have to "publish" new class definitions or something? How do I get ez to recognize changes I made to a class definition?

Here's what happened:

I logged in with another user, and tried to edit the class, and was told it was locked. This didn't seem right since I hit the "store" button multiple times when I created it.

On a hunch, I went back in under the original user with Internet Explorer instead of Mozilla Firebird. Sure enough, the "store" button published the changes. Apparently there's a glitch with using Firebird for that form.

Also, the stylesheets don't work right in Firebird either. This is very much an IE-only app.

It's not fixed after all:

It seems to be random as to whether pressing "store" from the class editor screen will actually store the class. I've pressed "store" a million times, but the new fields are not appearing on the object editor, and when I log in under another user account and try to edit the class, I get a message that the class is locked by the first user.

What's the trick to actualy storing these class changes?

Hi,

Which php version are you using? It seems that old php version has problem with class editing/creating.
